Battle of San Pedro Vasco

The Battle of San Pedro Vasco occurred in 1585 when England raided the Spanish Empire's colony of California. The English, who had founded the colony of New Kettering in present-day Modoc County, California, assaulted the Spanish colony of San Pedro Vasco in present-day Churchill County, Nevada, and the English sent several settlers to assault the Spanish town center. As the settlers were picked off with one bullet each from sharpshooters in the Spanish town center, the English sent professional troops to assist their settlers in burning down the town center, and the destruction of the town center meant defeat for Spain.
